Trapunto Stitching

i have been a fan of TRAPUNTO i guess since GEOFFREY BEENE and GIANFRANCO FERRE-i've seen it used a lot while i've been researching Hausa Outfits and think i like it in doses.

spell STOOL

Sacha Grewe's handcrafted mdf stools come in 147 colors-including chalkboard finish!!!

Hausa pants

so when i left the apt today-which btw is above a bar/horse betting parlor-there was the African dude in a shirt and the pants of a Hausa outfit-his was a tie dyed navy spiral pattern and also they were awesome-i'd sport them with what i brought with me-white poplin shirt-brown striped tee kimono fabric sash and heather grey tee/sleeve do-rag-ps i need a haircut!!

keep it chill and chic

FINALLY!!!!!
a cooler to carry my PBR's and Jaeger shots that i won't be mortified to rock on the train this summer.

having a "TOUS LES CALEÇONS" moment

there was a terrific underwear brand back in the 80's and while i was checking out a fabric shop on Rue Herold i remembered they had a shop around the corner-sadly it's long gone but it was hot-best men's longjohns that we rocked out on the streets

Spring, springs up in Paris

Today begins men's spring 2011 collections in Paris-got me curious about what i may want for next spring.
Nooch, on his way back from Art Basel Switzerland, tore this page from an in flight magazine knowing i would like it-he knows me very well.














i also saw a great documentary on Massai warriors while i've been here and remembered these Herb Ritts photographs;



let's see what comes out of all this..






















I saw these and decided i wanted the plaids and patterns on these tees to be hand painted in an uneven manner like these boxes were taped!!

apparently, i like boxy shapes.
